ESC Guidelines on prevention and rehabilitation in coronary heart disease and current practice: the EUROASPIRE VI survey.
Key takeaways
This observational study followed over 160 hospitals in 27 European countries from September 2024 to February 2026 and found big differences in how well heart disease patients receive recommended care like cardiac rehabilitation. People who attended rehab had better outcomes, but because this is an observational study, it shows a link—not proof—that rehab caused the improvement.
